It's an interesting thought - given Conways Law (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law), an organisation will be similarly structured to the codebase, and thus similar principles should apply. IMO the tricky bit is mostly non-technical, as there are a lot of other factors involved in employing humans and organising them that fall outside SOLID, such as prestige, pay, career paths and job satisfaction. Looking forward to your articles though!

Absolutely. Conway's law is a better to define how an organization operates. I will mention it along the articles.

The idea I have is about how to resonate if it makes any sense to apply SOLID to an organization level and which other practices and principles apply better.
